Wales has had some great players from the past to the present day. John Charles, Ian Rush and Ryan Giggs to mention but a few. 
The most expensive player in the world is Gareth Bale and a very proud Welshman he is. 
Aaron Ramsey has turned from shy midfielder into a player that just can't stop scoring goals; he is also a proud Welshman. 
The price tag on Ramsey would be interesting to find out though I very much doubt the Cardiff born player would want to leave the North London giants. 
Bale is living the dream and is a Real Madrid fan; pictures from his childhood show him in the colours of the Spanish club.

What the press have said about Bale;

 'Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale was in buoyant mood after scoring another goal and more minutes against Juventus.

The most expensive player on the planet is starting to offer the kind of return Real were hoping for when they dug deep to secure his services over the summer.

Following a frustrating time with niggling knocks, Bale's form and fitness are improving with each passing game.

He managed 75 minutes in a 2-2 draw with Juventus on Tuesday, with a fine second-half strike taking him on to four goals in nine outings for Real'

What the press have said about Ramsey;

'The new belief and confidence has given him energy. He always had the potential to be this player, that's why Arsenal and other big clubs tried to sign him. But now, finally, he is realising it.

He looks more confident, speaks more confidently and is living proof that it can take time to recover from a big injury.'

Ramsey is learning from Mesut Ozil; one of the best players in the world.

The former Tottenham man is learning the game from Ronaldo; some say the best player in the world. 
Just as Bale had at Spurs, it looks as if Ramsey is enjoying a much more 'free' role. Talented players will hurt opponents as man marking a 'free' player for a whole game is nearly impossible. It only takes a second to score. 
Both players have no problem taking on players; the ball seems to stick to their football boot!
Neither player is a centre forward or a striker; both are attacking midfielders. They both score goals on a more regular basis than some strikers! 
Bale is more likely to score from outside the box; Ramsey is happy to score a 'tap in'.
Ramsey has really hit the goals this season while Bale's been doing it constantly while at White Hart Lane before his move to Spain. 
Bale will hope to get his first La Liga winners medal while Ramsey hopes to get a Premiership one. Both would like a Champions League winners medal! One of them at least will be disappointed but they could meet in the final; how proud the Welsh would be then!
Over his career Ramsey has scored a goal every eight games; Bale's average is one in four. But both players have so much more to offer than just scoring goals. 
Bale is a dead ball specialist; goalkeepers must have nightmares at the thought of facing one of his free kicks. Ramsey is a very solid player who is hard to tackle and force off the ball.
Ramsey's career could have been cut short after a nasty leg break early in his Arsenal career. Sign of a strong inner strength. 
Bale was part of a Spurs side that were losing four nil at half time away to Inter Milan. He scored a second half hat trick. Sign of a strong inner strength. 
Both players are blessed with skill which they have by the bucket load. They are both great team players and teammates really enjoy being in the same team as the Welsh men. 
Can Ramsey be better than Bale? Only time will tell. Will Bale be a success in Spain? Only time will tell. Will Ramsey keep his scoring touch after such a great start to the season? Only time will tell. 
One thing is for sure; Wales can be very proud of two of their own, very proud indeed.
